Grant

[OmurCataltepe]

We prefer clear, concrete, and concise applications. If an application is incomplete or unclear, we will request an update to the application.

Background

What problems do you aim to solve? How does it serve the mission of a user owned internet?

There are undecided investors because they can't find enough resources in Turkish. They can't be sure about what is the Stacks and the vision of the project. We want to solve it by reaching them from big platforms / communities and big influencers. We know big influencers around us.

Project Overview

What solution are you providing? Who will it serve?

We will introduce Stacks and the Stacks Technology to tens of thousands of Turkish investors. Because Turkey is the largest cryptocurrency investor in middle-east. There is great potential!

Scope

What are the components or technical specs of the project? What will the final deliverable look like? How will you measure success?

We will organize AMA in big communities (>5000 member each community) and making advertisements, events with big influencers. In the same time, we’ll create short and illustrative videos for introducing Proof of Transfer, Clarity, Stacks. We’ll translate important articles and papers to Turkish. For example Whitepaper 2.0, Overview of Stacks. Also we have stacksturkey.com website. The site is our local community website. There will be a newsletter and guide for Turkish investors. Articles about Stacks will published in there. Stacks's whitepaper will be translated into Turkish and will be published on this website. It will serve to all of the potential Turkish investors. I believe the project will be enough to solve that. This project will be the first community website for a cryptocurrency in Turkey.

Risks

What dependencies or obstacles do you anticipate? What contingency plans do you have in place?

If any influencer or community gives up partnership, we will organize events with another persons / communities on the same budget. We have alternatives for that. We cannot predict another risk as it will be a marketing work.

Community and Supporting Materials

Do you have previous projects, code commits, or experiences that are relevant to this application? What community feedback or input have you received? How do you plan to share your plan to the community over time and as the final deliverable?

We have good contacts for doing that. We organized AMA events and prepared promotional videos for Stacks and also Sahin Ali Bayar and Omur Cataltepe is leading Stacks Turkey. There is great activity in this community. Member count is increased 3000+ from 300. 91% of our members are completely Turkish and organic.

All of the statistics are in "Stacks Turkey Community Growth Planning Doc" paper. If it'll be requested, we can share the document with authorities.
